Chauvins lawyer claims that this was perfectly ok a few years ago.
They know his appeal may very well overturn his conviction.
It stopped being a department of justice 3 months ago. The doj and fbi are both in the service of the democrat party, and not the American people. I don’t expect any justice to come out of it as long as one-finger joe is in office.
i could swear i heard him on video saying to another cop(i think the asian) that ask him about the knee say he’s following training procedures
Just in case he wins an appeal. They need this in their back pocket.
The Feds are talking about charging Chauvin for Civil Rights violations and a hate crime from the Floyd case. And the state of Minnesota may re-try the case for First Degree Murder if the Fed charges stick as it will be considered an aggravating circumstance.
More rioting to make up for that?
Oh that's terrible! Somebody should do something! Like...
...ask why the DOJ is now all of a sudden interested in this? Why weren't they interested in 2017, or 2018, or 2019, or 2020?
...ask just how big/muscular the 14 year old "boy" was?
...ask them if they would have been happier if he had used lethal force instead of non-lethal or less-lethal blunt-force to subdue him?
...ask exactly what is meant by "struck?" could have been anything from splitting his skull open to merely poking him in the back as in "move along." Given the leftist media's tenuous grasp on the truth and demonstrated penchant for spinning stories and outright fabrication I imagine "struck" was carefully chosen for it's ambiguity.
...ask for how many of those 17 minutes was the "boy" being uncooperative or combative?
How big was this “child”?
How compliant to arresting officer instructions was this “child”?
What was the “child” charged with?
I thought the DOJ didn’t announce investigations.
Why? For what purpose? What a waste of taxpayer money.
It will never be good enough for this ravenous lynch mob.
By the way, you do realize they’re lynching ALL US white Americans, don’t you?
How about investigating Maxine Waters for inciting a riot and other hate crimes?
How about investigating Comey and Obama for espionage on a presidential candidate?
How about investigating Clinton for Title 18 crimes?
How about investigating Hunter Biden for his various ‘alleged’ crimes?
How about investigating the ‘big guy’ for using tax dollars to bribe Ukraine to take the heat off of his son?
How about investigating all of the fraud that occurred in the 2020 election? What about all of the sworn affidavits regarding that election?
It is sad how lawless the DOJ has become and how political it has become!
I keep hearing about the good men and women who work in the DOJ but I have yet to see any of them step forward to call a halt to the lawlessness within!!!
Wow 17 mins? Sorry to hear the guy died
So the guy did not die after 17 minutes?
Floyd died after 9 minutes. The cause of death was him swallowing the fentanyl.
The officer can bring that up at his retrial.
The man is going to prison for life. Why pile it on?
Meanwhile, not about the murder of Ashli Babbitt.
This whole thing looks as fake as the covid scare. Have to keep the blacks voting for dems.
The bottomless bucket of money possessed by the feds never ceases to amaze me.
FTR I could care less about Chauvin...he's kind of an idiot....but that trial was a total fraud...
